Messy Play is the most fun! Our Babies and Tweenies have loved exploring a variety of messy play activities this week. The children have been exploring paints with brushes, foam rollers and their hands and feet. We then extended this onto foil so the children can experience a different texture, we then added our foam for them to explore.

Here at monkey puzzle we would like to share our fabulous flour guidance for parents. The Food safety agency has released guidance on using raw flour with young children. Raw flour can be dangerous to children and can have bacteria if unbaked. Children love to explore Flour for playdough, messy play and textures.

Messy Play Fun!
We have made gloop with cornflour and water. The children have been feeling the texture by running their hands in the tray then lifting them up to watch the gloop fall. After they had finished feeling the texture they used a boat to move through the “river” whilst singing row row your boat.

Our preschooler`s and toddlers have been working on their fine motor skills, number recognition and colours through a threading activity. The children have used a variety of coloured thread wheels, number stones to thread along. During this the children were able to discuss the colours, count how many they had, and identify numbers on the rocks. This aids children with their development, and helps with a valuable life skills such as when they begin to tie their laces. Amazing job!!
